Holiday goodies


We chose to make homemade goodies as most of our holiday gifts this year.
Less hassle, less shopping, more yummy goodness.

The Peppermint Bark has been my go-to staple for awhile now.
This is not that sickening-sweet-only-kids-can-enjoy-it stuff.
Oh no.
The decadent dark bittersweet chocolate center, laced with a bit of peppermint extract, elevate these squares to sublime melt-in-your-mouth adult minty-ness.
A bit more work than the other type.....but oh so worth it.

The Fudge Bars were a trial run this year.
They definitely made the cut for a repeat performance next year.
Don't skimp on the coarse salt on top.
It's what gets them that savory, sugary, crunchy, salty "wow" response with every bite.

What yummy things did you bake this year?
